A seed is sown
into my garden
of thoughts.
“Good luck”
blooms a flower
of colors galore
red and yellow and many more
“Stupid” is a weed
entangling my imagination
and creativity
making a pretty plant
die
“You rock”
Is an herb
a big, smelly herb
one I want with my dinner
It makes the whole enchilada
a treat
a magical fritter
“Weirdo” is flower
but like a dandelion
a weed nonetheless
at first it looks like “nice”
so big and jolly and pretty
then it spreads
deeper and deeper
overtaking my “good luck”
and “you rock”
where it still spreads
deeper and deeper
into my garden of thoughts.
This poem won an award at Apex Town Meeting, 2nd place! Yay! This was a 'Tuesday Prompt'.
